"I came into your office to talk with you about my aunt on Sept. 26th. She was in danger of becoming homeless, living in the illegal basement, and who has given all of her money away to her newphew. How can I thank you enough? Your recommendation for Bronxwood has helped my aunt, and myself in such a way I can not express. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! She has been staying up there for almost 2 weeks now & she seems to like it. I feel confident that the doctors there can also help her a little with the Alzheimer's Disease.

Just a quick note and a happy one at that. The computer genius in our office had to check for a virus in my computer and happened to see your email to me and said "Hey, I know the guy" and continued to apprise me of your brilliance with the computer and the way you work. I always knew you were one smart lawyer but it's especially nice to have it validated by someone else. He asked me to say"hello" to you. Regards and have a great weekend. -Reva H

I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for all of your help and legal guidance on behalf of my cousin, while she was alive and in handling her and my step-father, James’s estates. As I now have three attorneys in my family, I can only hope that they will have mentors such as you, to guide them in the legal profession. -S Bass

If we were in NYC, I would stop by and also deliver a great bear hug! Ennis and I remain very grateful to you for all the assistance and support you have given to us, and the very good advice since 1997. You are the most competent, compassionate, and nicest attorney we have ever dealt with, and without your help would probably still be wallowing in the quagmires of the court systems and its complexities. -Edith P

Just wanted to thank you for how well you and Ed handled the sale of my mother’s house.

It was great working with both of you!!! Thank you again. -Lorka M, Urban Programs Manager

I want to express our gratitude for all the work and emotional support
you have given us over the past several years. In addition to your impressive
​legal prowess, your skill at handling Manny and credit card companies, and your compassion for our situation (particularly the night B__ was put into Bellevue) has put us forever in your debt. We’ve worked with a dozen lawyers over our lifetime; none have matched your caring and reassuring manner! As Norwegians say: A thousand thanks! -Edie P

I graduated from law school in 1930 to face ten years of the depression you surely read about. The average lawyer earned $25 a week and most made less. I retired many years ago probably much before you went into practice. As you know I am 85. Our relationship has been very pleasant to me as I have found you to be courteous and patient for which I am grateful. -Eli S. T
